Substrate with Electrically Conductive Pads That Are Readable by Touchscreen Device

3. The device of claim 2, wherein when the external surface of the non-conductive substrate is placed in proximity to a touch surface and at least one switch is in closed state, conductive pads connected with the switch in closed state trigger touch events on the touch surface.

5. The device of claim 1, wherein the conductive pad has a pre-determined contact area for contacting with the touch surface.

6. The device of claim 1, wherein the conductive pad is in a circular shape with a diameter not less than 6 mm.

7. The device of claim 1, wherein the conductive pad and the conductive line are made of conductive materials and/or high relative permittivity materials.

8. The device of claim 1, wherein the second end of the conductive line is not connected with any other conductive pads.

13. The object of claim 9, wherein the conductive pad has a pre-determined contact area for contacting with the touch surface.

15. The method of claim 14, wherein the object further comprises one or more switches, each having an open state and a closed state and disposed on the conductive line.
